Squid Game Season 2 Possible Plotlines
While Netflix and Hwang Dong-hyuk are very tight-lipped about the upcoming sophomore season, the series creator dropped a small letter that shed light on the direction of the series. If we remember from the debut season, Seong Gi-Hun was about to board a plane. But had a sudden change of heart, signaling the possibility for a second season.
Well, Dong-hyuk, in his letter, claims that Gi-hun will return, and so will the Front Man. He also teased about Young-hee’s boyfriend Cheol-su making an appearance. But other than that, we don’t know anything else. We’ll have to wait and see. Moreover, as to the cast, we can confirm that Lee Jung-jae will reprise his role as Seong Gi-hun, and Lee Byung-hun will reprise his role as The Front Man. As for the rest, it’s up for grabs because they were killed in the debut season.
Squid Game Season 2 Release Date
Squid Game season 2 will release sometime soon in 2022. We don’t know when, but considering the hype that Netflix created for this show, we could expect it by Q4 2022 if we look at the first season for reference, it dropped in September 2021. We hope that Hwang Dong-hyuk will give us a sophomore season with great impact and shock as the debut, and that’s a high bar to beat. If the show follows a similar pattern, we could expect it by that time. We hope to hear some more updates about Squid Game coming from Netflix sometime soon, rest assured that as soon as we get a hold of more updates, we will post them on this website.
